Thanks: Thanks to my friends for their support, in all its varying forms. I appreciate all of it more than you know, and I hope some of you are happily surprised to find that this album isn’t just “thirty minutes of weeping followed by ten minutes of slitting my wrists.” Anonymous, heaping thanks to the poor people that get mentioned. There are no words to express my gratefulness. Thanks to my family, who has been there from the beginning and put up with a lot. Thanks to all the producers I worked with: Cire, Warbux, Purple Haze, Gam, 60 Cycle Hum, The Communist, and Phiba Optix. Hit those people up and buy beats from them. Thanks to DJ HDL for lacing “The Dao of Sun Zoo” up proper. The man is a genius. Thanks to Jeff Miller for his support and technical help. Thanks again to Jeff Miller and to Avon Old Farms School for the use of their recording facilities. Thanks to Stratus for his never-ending willingness to help out with things, with one glaring exception. Still, look out for his inevitable east coast tour with me, and buy his album. No one is ready. Thanks to Jeff at ndesigns.net for being so accommodating and printing some sexy-looking shirts. Thanks to Arcane at RM for his technical help with vocal compression settings. I have it memorized now (-25, 3:1, ~10, ~40). Thanks to Cheez-Its, Pepsi, and the Shell Quick Mart (the only one open) on the corner of 44 for helping to keep me awake at 2 A.M. in the middle of a six hour mixing session. Thanks to the whole world for keeping me inspired. Thanks to everyone I forgot, for their forgiveness.

Lastly, and most importantly, thanks to anyone and everyone who downloads a song and enjoys it or passes it on to a friend. I appreciate all the love I get from random people, that’s what keeps me going. So I hope this album has helped someone in at least some way, and whether you love it or hate it, feel free to hit me up and tell me how you feel about it.
